High Street Pick of the Week

24, The Good Wife and Mad Men are my can't miss, Sky + (series linked) shows at the moment. I've even started to watch Desperate Housewives again as well. Thank goodness I've no money because come 9pm I'm glued to the tv or playing catch up.

Not content with watching Mad Men, I have to look and look again. The first viewing is for the storyline, gathering the information and character development. Then it is back to examine January Jone's costumes. Then it is Joan and all the bit part female characters for their dresses, shoes and jewellery.

It is a veritable feast of colour and cut. I think the attention to detail is superb and I found this reasonable priced vintage 60s dress at Pret a Portobello.com. which exudes pure series 3 Mad Men. The trick with replicating Mad Men is to forgo the late swinging sixties look and look for dresses that sit between the late fifties and 1967, some will be just on or below the knee and others will be rising slightly higher ....remember the mini has yet to arrive even though Peggy's been smoking dope. She is so going to burn her bra!

I love that dress, and FINALLY someone else who watches The Good Wife. I don't know anyone else who is watching, despite nagging my friends 'why don't you watch The Good Wife on 4oD' 24/7.

I really need to get all the Mad Men boxsets too, I want to get into it. Although I disscovered ER last summer and have since watched 16 years of the show in under 10 months, so I need to finish that before starting something else. No so fashionable though, unless you're into scrubs....
